I wouldn't. I have a 2006 RL and a 1999 NSX, both of which are fine. I
also have a 2000 Prelude, and the TL-S seemed like it might be a good
replacement. Unfortunately, while it has a lot of power and stopping
ability, it doesn't seem as nice all around as the Prelude.

I also own a 1977 MB 6.9. I wouldn't consider a modern German car
because the are way too complicated. I would consider the Infinity if I
weren't such a Honda fan. Ditto for Lexus.

I normally use my Prelude as my daily driver, but when the weather is
nice I never fail to take the NSX. I also take it to the track. It is
probably the best all around car out there for anybody who drives alone
or with one passenger and doesn't need to carry much luggage.
BTW, being a honda, it has been very cheap to keep running (except for
tires!!).

"I also take it to the track." Ah, well, that's another story.
Unfortunately, the NSX isn't suitable for AutoCross, which is
absolutely the *the* most-fun-lowest-cost form of autosport.
The problem with going to racetracks is that Joe Driver is limited to
strict rules that amount to
driving-a-bit-fast-but-no-aggressive-and-no-passing-or-competitive-driving,
(AKA track days). Unless you have an SCCA licence that is (which I
do, as it happens, and I *think* it's still current) and if you go
*that* route, it rapidly starts to get expensive and time consuming.
Not to mention the first NSX that I totaled on the track. Don't ask
me about that.
The best Autocross car, without doubt, is a Lotus/Caterham Seven. I
sold my last one in the spring of this year. I miss it already.
